In the event that you missed my e -mail a few weeks ago, Steve asked me to write more focused fitness and nutritional content for the rebellion.
And since then I have received a lot of e -mails from people who circled the same thing: a lack of belief that they can Strictly speaking Do the work this time! I bet you can tell yourself:
“Bigest challenge – trust in the process and lose myself.”
“Having difficulties to believe that it is actually helpful to be consistent and be afraid that I will fail, no matter what I do.”
“I’m afraid of a failure, I don’t try to fail so that everything seems so discouraging. I know all the words for the” right “way of thinking, but I just can’t find the will/energy/wish to do something after work.”
These fears are very, very normal. (Although this has no less loyalty to do!)
So what do we do when we get stuck and fear how overwhelming It all has?
💡 the most important
Although every story is different, there is one thing that has noticed that you really have a higher chance of success:
Build dynamics early – and then protect this swing.
Early victories make the rest of the trip easier.
And sure, an early victory could look like the scope is moving or becoming stronger in the gym.
But these things are results that come for weeks or even Months Later after he had consistently made the thing. That is the moment we feel unsafe and overwhelmed.
That’s why I like to start by pursuing and celebrating efforts.
Select 1-2 repeatable actions that you can practice every day:
Each action is a win, which is a small sign of progress.
And if we can recognize and celebrate every action, build it according to prove that “I am the kind of person who can do this, even if it is difficult.”
And this little hope?
It can be enough to hold out the hard parts.
👨🔬 An example in real life
For example, let’s take my customer. He was exactly in the same boat when we started working together.
- Super full work plan with an hour of pendulum traffic per route
- 4 small children at home
- Had a recent fear of health that had to recognize him that it was time to change
- I am not sure where to start and fear that this would be another attempt that he tried and failed
So we spoke openly about all of these things – The real restrictions for his time and energy, the fear that this would not work, and his hope for a future in which he felt better, and the fitness did not feel that difficult.
And then we chose a few things that we thought that they could be a good starting point.
✅ A 10 -minute walk during his lunch break
✅ A list of orders in restaurants for his work-you always has a good option
✅ Every time he brushed his teeth, lies from the worktop.
And while these actions can like appear Small, they had an oversized effect. They enabled us to build and overcome consistency first, and then we were able to make ourselves optimizing the results later.
And here the real magic happens – not only in physical change, but in the way of thinking:
“I am the kind of person who appears.”
“I can trust that I should go through.”
“I know how you are on the right track when life happens.”
Questions
Her biggest change was actually in how she Thought About fitness, habits and who they believed they could become.
🕳️ The pitfall
If we start trying to optimize and do everything from the start, it can feel like we can drown and not keep up.
This only increases the conviction that we cannot make any changes. That we are only one of the people for which “this stuff doesn’t work”.
This is the exact trap that we want to avoid!
Of course, the starting point of all is different. You may be able to jump directly into a multiple day a week or more aggressive nutritional changes.
It is not about taking over less than they are able – it must be ensured that they can “challenge” with “feasible” so that they can build up the belief in themselves and the process.
Fast lead two years and Ben’s routine looks very different than we started.
- He now does a strength training 4x/week in the morning before work
- He goes through periods in which he pursues his calories and macros, and others in which we pursue a more relaxed approach, with a general focus on getting a lot of protein, fruit and vegetables every day
- He prioritizes sleep and gets over 8,000 steps a day
While Ben has become stronger, lost over 30 pounds and improved his blood markers – everything started with the most important: to build dynamics.
🎬 Where do I start?
Where does you let you today? That’s how I would approach it.
✅ Recognize the real challenges and restrictions of your time and energy.
This is not a “Rah -Rah” approach to ignore all the hard stuff. Recognize that it is okay and normal to feel like this. (Steve really only wrote about them
✅ Start with practice – no perfection.
Concentrate on a repeatable action (such as a short strength or protein for two meals), not just the desired result. Remember how practice. You won’t be perfect. You will make mistakes. And that’s all part of it.
✅ Create a visual proof of your effort.
In our coaching program, customers check tasks every day and we can see visible progress in your efforts.
If you don’t have a trainer, we love to use something that we call that we call it Glass from Awesome:
Let a marble (or a paper bracket or a coin) in a glass every time you agree with your goals.
It’s a way too see Her consistency and progress, even in front of the mirror or the scale, reflects them.
✅ Celebrate the little victories.
You ran today?
Eaten mindfully?
After a difficult day, skip the all-or-NOT spiral?
This is a victory that is worth being recognized. The process Leads to the result.
If you are just stuck or even feel hopeless, let us see if we can turn the script over.
We’ll start small. We will celebrate the effort.
And we will put together this swing.
You have that.
And if you want help with the selection of your first “quick victory”, just shoot me a message and I’ll help you find it.
